The Polar Express came to Lubbock this year. For those of you who don't know, it is a train ride patterned after the movie. We took Connor and Alyssa and had a great time. It was Greg and I's first train ride as well. It lasted about an hour and we rode to the "North Pole" and Santa and his elves boarded and gave all the kids bells like the movie. We were served hot chocolate and a cookie on the way and listened to the story of the Polar Express and sang Christmas carols. It was a great way to celebrate the holidays and the kids really enjoyed it.

Tis the Season
I cannot believe that it is already December and Christmas is fast approaching. I have found myself stressing over the silliest things like we need to do a Christmas card, I need the perfect Christmas outfits for the kids, I need to finish my Christmas shopping, I need to finish decorating my house, etc. I find myself wanting to have everything perfect for the holidays. What am I thinking?! Today was a gentle reminder to me that spending time with my family and making memories with them over the holidays is what matters most. We had so much fun going to the Science Spectrum petting all of the animals, making Gingerbread men, and getting our picture taken with Santa.

Happy Halloween a Week Late!!
I am a week late in getting these up, but here are pics of the kids on Halloween. We had a great time at the Fun Fall Festival at church and went to a few neighborhood homes after that. The kids had the best time dressing up and the twins did great keeping their costumes on!!

We are Walking!!!
The twinks are finally walking!! I can't believe my babies are no longer babies anymore, but toddlers. It is so much fun to see them toddle around, but bittersweet at the same time. These are our last babies unless God miraculously intervenes!! :) It is sad to be leaving the baby stage in our house, but we look forward to becoming an all walker family now. It will make life a little easier for us. It is so funny because even though the girls look so much alike, they have such different little personalities. Ashlynn is so very careful when she walks with her hands raised high and her concentration on her feet. She is very slow and methodical. While Kylee is crazy and out of control when she walks!! She practically flies everywhere and is trying to run before she can walk very well.
Best Friends!!

The Corn Maize
We went to the Corn Maize with our Sunday School class and had a great time. We always enjoy going to the maize and hanging out with friends. It just would not be Fall without it. I love the fall!!

The Pumpkin Patch
We went to the local pumpkin patch to pick out pumpkins and take some fall pics. It was an enjoyable morning as well as entertaining watching the kiddos play.
